XDC Network


XDC Network API is available on Web3 API platform.

The XDC Network is a global, open-source, delegated proof of stake consensus network (XDPoS), with near-zero gas fees, 2 second block finality, and interoperability with ISO 20022 financial messaging standards. The network’s enterprise-grade architecture is designed to support institutional use in trade finance and asset tokenization. Featuring interoperable smart contracts, 2,000 transactions per second, and Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility, the XDC Network provides a scalable infrastructure for enterprises and independent community contributors.

In order for your Web3 application to interact with XDC Network — either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network — it must connect to an XDC Network node. Developers interact with the blockchain using the methods provided by the API.

The API interaction follows the JSON-RPC which is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It defines several data structures and the rules around their processing. It is transport agnostic in that the concepts can be used within the same process, over sockets, over HTTP, or in other message-passing environments. It uses JSON (RFC 4627) as data format.
